 Abstract: We present numerical simulations of the evolution of a supernova (SN) remnant expanding into a uniform background medium with density nH=1.0 cm−3 and temperature of 104 K. We include a dynamically evolving non-equilibrium ionization (NEI) network (consisting of all the ions of H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Fe), frequency dependent radiation transfer (RT), thermal conduction, and a simple dust evolution model, all intra-coupled to each other and to the hydrodynamics. We assume spherical symmetry. Photoionization, radiation losses, photo-heating, charge-exchange heating/cooling, and radiation pressure are calculated on the fly depending on the local radiation field and ion fractions. We find that the dynamics and energetics (but not the emission spectra) of the SN remnants can be well modelled by collisional equilibrium cooling curves even in the absence of non-equilibrium cooling and radiative transport. We find that the effect of precursor ionizing radiation at different stages of SN remnant are dominated by rapid cooling of the shock and differ from steady-state shocks. The predicted column densities of different ions such as N+, C3+, and N4+, can be higher by up to several orders of magnitude compared to steady-state shocks. We also present some high-resolution emission spectra that can be compared with the observed remnants to obtain important information about the physical and chemical states of the remnant, as well as constrain the background interstellar medium.
